I've been using a recent CVS build to test a bunch of old games I have laying around. Latest game I tried was Sorcerian, one of the games that Sierra imported from Nihon Falcom and Game Arts in Japan around 1990 (along with Thexder, Firehawk, Zeliard, and Silpheed).

Anyways, I noticed that if I run with the dynamic core, the game is very sluggish. I boosted the cycles way up and it was playable, although I noticed that the music plays slowly (using MT-32 with KingGuppy's Windows driver emulator) unless you're holding down a button. I also once had the game freeze when I tried to back out of a dungeon, but wasn't able to replicate it.

Strangely, the game runs fine with the normal core.

Thought I'd mention this in case anyone else has troubles with this game in the future. Added a comment to the compatability database as well.
